Tyler Seguin was given a penalty for illegal check to the head after this hit to Shea Theodore. It was originally called a major but reduced to a minor after review. What do you think? Have your say!
This is a weird one. Shea Stadium clearly jumps back to try to avoid contact. But, Seguin probably hits his head, anyway. Hard to say, though. With that unknown, I think the 2 minute penalty was fine. Though, it was a really weird call, because there was no penalty until way after it happened during the commercial break
This is just embarrassing for the diver… when you get caught like this. But hey, bought them 2 in the game! He barely hits his arm even, and there are much better angles out there.

Embellishment
That was a World Cup level flop
Hardcore embellishment. Looks like he was no where near his head.
He’s practicing for next season, he’ll be the next one LTIR
Looks like Seguin misjudged the hit and missed. Theodore gets more upright going into the hit to avoid it.
Thought he was at swimming practice and took a dive
Mind you this was why Pietrangelo attacked Seguin later in the period. Cost his team the game for retribution on a phatom hit.
Michael Phelps and Greg Louganis will both be calling Theodore for diving tips.
